Pacific Electric Lofts: On my way out (Not Recommending)

2009-04-27T17:11:13-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place could have been great. It's really nice that it's a historic building, but they didn't do much with it and they don't maintain it well.

2007-10-31T22:11:33-06:00

From SteveLikesNiceThings: The management is never helpful. Once you sign, good luck getting them to return calls, or repair anything.

Pacific Electric Lofts: The worst downtown (Not Recommending)

2007-07-29T15:06:18-06:00

From -Anonymous-: It's pretty, but there's a lot they're not telling you. The management is practically non-existant. Once, I got it out of one of them that the owner is really tight and doesn't want to spend money on the place, which is why nothing ever gets fixed or finished. Just look ...

Pacific Electric Lofts: A Nightmare (Not Recommending)

2007-03-26T14:03:58-06:00

From -Anonymous-: This place is a disaster. I'm sick of finding dog poop everywhere. And I'm sick of drunken frat kids (and all their friends) taking over the place.

2007-01-07T15:35:38-06:00

From pechristie: This place has been soooo disappointing! They told me that lots of young people live here and that there are parties all the time.

2007-03-08T13:27:40-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I have my share of complaints with this building, but you are never going to like 100% of the things in an apartment complex. Some neighbors are loud, but I never hear mine.

From -Anonymous-: It's pretty, but filthy underneath. The lofts are cheaply renovated, cheap materials abound.
